That part any semi intelligent person would know without being told.
Get desperate, get ignored.
Haha! You'd think that but it happens a lot! Better to just tell everyone when they are doing it and not watch them crash and burn repeatedly...

Hi, I am thinking of starting online dating again and I wanted to get my profile reviewed. Is there any girls that that wouldn't mind reviewing it for me?

Oh
What do you reply to messages like
"If I could rearrange the alphabet I would put U and I together"
What am I meant to say? OK? Lol.
Not going to reply to that particular chick but it's not the first time I get something as random lol.. Especially when
I know she copied that line from interwebz.
Thanks for the advice, will give that a go!

My date seemed to go well yesterday, just met for coffee in the park. Had a chat for a couple hours and got a kiss afterwards, text her later on but haven't heard anything back. Just waiting for the, "had a great time but.." text now!
I was a bit worried about meeting up with her as I hadn't seen a body shot beforehand so was debating bringing my harpoon just in case! Fortunately she turned out the complete opposite of what I'd been dreading!

I think you're going to be single for quite a while

Especially on POF, there's so many whales on that site the Japanese have put in stock
Odd
If you do a standard default search it shows the females in the listing page per page, however do an advanced search and even more show up and online. For example one online now girl didn't show up in the default, the only difference I've selected is no smoking and smaller height and she's advanced

Internet dating rarely works. It's just not a natural way to meet someone as you can't feel the chemistry whilst typing online. Yes, some people may get lucky, but that's about all it comes down to.
There's also too many attention seeking women on dating sites who have got no intentions of meeting up with anyone. All most of them want are messages from blokes admiring them. It's a confidence and ego boost to them without them having to do anything.
Personally, i'd have a problem even admitting I was desperate enough to look for a date online. If you're male, it almost always indicates you lack confidence in real life, which means you probably won't get a girlfriend anyway, let alone a shag (unless you pay for it).

This isn't 10 years ago.
I do agree on some of your points though, mainly the one about the women being on sites for attention, yes this is true but they are generally very easy to spot. Lots of self pictures of her posing in next to nothing in the mirror. I also agree you need to get lucky to find the right person to meet.
But I really don't think you need to lack confidence or people skills or whichever way you want to spin it just because you try to date online. I'm sure a lot of people lack the opportunities to meet people in their real lives, maybe they work a lot and don't have time, or maybe they live in a very small town or village where meeting others you don't know is difficult. Perhaps they don't like going out to meet a girl at a pub or club or perhaps they want to get to know someone a bit before meeting them, you know like in the old days how people had relationships through adverts in the paper? Maybe some people have no problems meeting girls in real life but want another outlet to try as well and broaden their search radius? Maybe they just moved to the area and thus it's a great way to get to know some people? Need I go on? I think that's a pretty lame opinion to have of guys that try to meet women regardless of how they do it - I bet you **** block your mates!

Had a date with a girl off PoF yesterday. We were texting and speaking on the phone while I was away on business and seemed to gel straight away. From her pictures she didn't look too bad but turns out she's a hefer. Real shame as she's such a nice lass.
I was disappointed, but her legs and belly were that big I thought 'how would I even get it in there'.

yes internet dating is full of ego's it always will be....
yes i have confidence issues, i always have, im just that type of person.
and when someone takes an interest in me (albeit that rarely happens) it gives me a slight confidence boost.
i dont put much effort into online dating, i use it as a second bober in the water type deal, its hard for me to meet new people based on where i live and where i work aswell, i meet lots of people at work, just not of the female variety that i would like to date or be friends with outside of work...
but you could be the most gorgeous person and still struggle for a decent relationship, thats just the way the cookie crumbles, theres a large element of luck involved
its not all about getting the "shag" as you put it.

lol? my last 3 GF's came from online "dating" well more like i got to know them through websites and so on.. and i shagged them all
i cba with chick in real life for some reason and prefer getting to know people online.. lack of confidence? i wouldn't say so.. personal preference more like 
It's just another way of meeting people.
Women do that attention seeking thing away from the internet too.
Nonsense. Sounds like you're projecting your own insecurities on other forum members.
Well no, not really. I'm not overly confident, but i'm not shy either. All the girls I've ever been with I have met in ordinary settings, i.e at work.
I've never tried internet dating, although I have looked online at girls and I have some friends who have tried it. Said friends lack confidence in real life and would flake it if any girl even bothered to show them any attention. Said friends have also never had a girlfriend in their lives.
Unfortunately, this is quite common. A lot of the 'nice' men on dating sites have not had girls before and so probably do lack confidence because of this fact. The rest are just players who are looking for an easy shag with a fat bird.
